Dakota Fanning Cast as Jane in Twilight’s Sequel NEW MOON

It’s official, Dakota Fanning has been cast as Jane in the next TWILIGHT movies. She will first appear in NEW MOON.

According to Twilight Lexicon, subscribers of TwilightTheMovie.com received an email confirming the casting news.

For those of you who haven’t read the novel, Jane is part of an organized coven of vampires called the Volturi. Since I don’t want to spoil too much about it, I’ll write more details about the character at the end of the post, read at your own risk. I’ll say this though, she is a pretty badass vampire.

As for Dakota Fanning’s casting, well she is definitely not what I pictured for the character of Jane, so I’m curious to see if she can actually pull it off. I’m thinking the blue eyes might help if she’s able to master the cold stare.

So Twilight fans what do you say? Is Dakota Fanning the right casting for Jane? If not, who would have been your pick?

[Spoilers]

Jane is a sadistic guard of the Volturi. She likes to inflict mental pain with her power. Jane has a twin brother named Alec, who is even more powerful than her. He as the ability to cut off a person’s senses. That means he can make them blind, deaf or cut off from any other type of feeling he wishes to. His power appears as a sort of mist that engulfs people.
